best LIVE Live rock?

[BigRedSpecial]

hello all,

I've been searching diligently for a source for LR for months now without much luck. I'm looking for the freshest, most life covered rock i can find and don't mind if i have to cure it myself. Nor do I care about the "risk" of unwanted hitchhikers.

I've been in contact with two major retailers; the first has all their rock stored dry for the winter (hardly "live" rock). They referred me to a second, who reached out to me right away but won't return my emails after I asked for a picture.

I ordered pukani from a third, but what I received was shipped nearly dry and had no visible life on (or in) it at all. Locally available rock is similar. I'm not a fan of what J&L carries right now, as it is not ocean cured and doesn't possess the biodiversity I seek.

Where have people had good experience ordering LR that was actually, you know, "Live"?

Here's what I received, as it was shipped. The largest piece was shipped in a shopping bag.
